plot.
Chapter One. [Changes]
"Harry! Ron!" Hermione yelled from across the railway station. She hauled her heavy bags across the station, hurrying to her best friends. They two boys rushed forward to help her.
"At last. Thanks guys. Whoa, you two look great!" Hermione stood back, admiring her best friends. Harry and Ron had grown taller, and their shoulders had broadened. Most of Ron's freckles were gone, and Harry had gotten rid of his specs, using contact lenses instead. His hair was still messy, but it wasn't as bad as before.
"You look great, too Hermione!" Harry exclaimed. Ron grinned. "Unless all the boys at Hogwarts are blind, you'll find yourself a suitor soon." Harry went on. He was interrupted by a loud sound.
"Hurry, guys, we have to get on the train. It's leaving." Hermione ordered in her usual prefect way. They quickly dragged their things onto the train. They walked from compartment to compartment. Finally they stopped at one and dropped their stuff to the floor.
"Hi, Ginny! How are you?" Hermione squealed at the sight of Ron's little sister, Harry's girlfriend, and her close friend. Ginny was sitting in the compartment, reading a book.
"Hermione! I'm doing great! How about you?" She asked. Hermione nodded, smiling and looking at Ginny from up to down.
"You've grown, Gin." She enviously said. Ginny smiled modestly. She has wearing a black halter top and a short denim skirt. It showed off her long legs. She was wearing black boots that reached up to her ankle. Her red hair, which she kept to the waist, was carefully combed.
"And she's all mine." Harry laughed, slipping his arm around Ginny's waist. Ron frowned. Hermione patted his arm and giggled. Even though Harry had been with Ginny since the year before, Ron still hadn't gotten used to his best friend and his sister being together.
"Well, well, what do we have here?" All four swiveled to the door of the compartment. Draco Malfoy stood there. Hermione had to swallow a gasp.
"Oh my god. He looks-. What am I thinking? It's Malfoy." Hermione thought.
"What do you want, Malfoy?" Harry snarled, getting his wand ready. His grip on Ginny tightened.
"My, my, Granger. What happened over the summer?" Draco said, ignoring Harry.
"She looks.great. Damned, if she wasn't a mudblood." He said silently in his mind.
"What do you mean, Malfoy?" Hermione shot back, flushing. She stared down at herself. She was wearing a rust-coloured turtleneck and a black mini- skirt. She had toned down her hair, and now it flowed down her back in smooth curls. She had been in Hawaii over the summer with her parents and had acquired a nice tan.
"Forget it. Hurry up, Granger. Mcgonagall wants to see us in her compartment now." He said, still unable to tear his eyes off from Hermione. Hermione stood up, waving to her friends. She followed Draco out of the compartment.
"Hello, Ms. Granger, Mr. Malfoy. Please have a seat." Professor Mcgonagall gestured to the two chairs in front of her desk. The compartment was big, and decorated to look like her office in Hogwarts. Hermione and Draco sat down, eyeing each other warily.
"Well, you two are chosen by Professor Dumbledore, Professor Snape, and myself to be the Head Boy and Head Girl this year. I'm assuming both of you will accept this responsibility?" Professor Mcgonagall asked. Both Draco and Hermione stiffly nodded, distinctly uncomfortable in their seats.
"Good. I give you the responsibility to plan all the balls, the parties, Hogsmeade weekends and so on. There'll be a new system this year, in which the head boy and head girl has to share a dorm, so it's easier to meet."
"What?!" Hermione stood up in shock. Draco looked just as horrified.
"Sit down, Ms. Granger." The professor ordered. Hermione flopped down on the chair. "I hope you two will try your very best to get along. Meet me at my office when you arrive at Hogwarts. That's about it. You may go now. Thank you." Professor Mcgonagall dismissed the two. They slumped out of the office and after shooting dirty looks at each other, they returned to their separate cabins.
"Argh!" Hermione cried out when she arrived in the comfort of her friends. Their heads shot up worriedly.
"What's wrong, Herm?" Ginny asked softly. Hermione shook her head.
"Guess what? I'm the new head girl. And- " Ron cut her off.
"That's great! Who's the head boy?" He asked.
"That would be me." They heard Draco's voice from beyond the door. The door opened and they came face to face with him. He smirked the Malfoy smirk.
"Dream on, Malfoy. Get lost." Harry lifted his wand. Hermione shot a warning look at Harry.
"No, guys. It's true. Malfoy's the head boy." She spat out. Malfoy smirked and waved sarcastically.
"See you losers later. Remember to be at Mcgonagall's office before the feast, Granger." He shut back the door and stalked off.
"Ignore him. Besides, that's not the worst thing. I have to share with him a dorm for the rest of the year! Dumbledore just added this system this year. Can you believe it?" Hermione groaned, burying her head in her hands. Her best friends shook their heads in silent horror.
The train's horn sounded and they quickly grabbed their stuff. They headed to the nearest exit and alighted. They rushed to an empty carriage and settled in. Neither of them said anything, knowing Hermione's nature.
When they arrived at the castle, Hermione left her friends and headed up the stairs to Professor Mcgonagall's office. The door was closed, so she knocked. But nobody opened the door. So she leaned on the wall beside the door and waited.
~ Draco's Point Of View. (POV) ~
As soon as he reached the castle, he abandoned his two sidekicks, Crabbe and Goyle. He hurried up the stairs to Professor Mcgonagall's office. He halted when he saw Hermione leaning against the wall, waiting.
"She's really beautiful. She's simply breathtaking." He murmured, staring at her. Her long, tanned legs, and her slender body that showed clearly through the tight-fitting turtleneck. Her flowing brown hair, her flushed cheeks.
"Ehem." Draco spun around. Professor Mcgonagall was behind him, smiling amusedly. Draco reddened and quickly walked to the office with the professor behind him.
"Sorry, Ms. Granger. I was held up for a moment in the Great Hall. Now, let me bring you both to your new dormitory." The professor led the way and stopped in front of a portrait of a knight on a horse. At the sight of Hermione, the knight whistled and raised his eyebrows.
"Shut up, John, or we'll place you somewhere else. Orange Pop," The professor muttered and the portrait swung open, mumbling incoherently.
The two students peered in curiously. The room was large with two separate staircases that led to doors at the top. The staircase on the right had red and gold carpeting and the door it led to had a picture of a lion in front. The other staircase was the same, except that it was green and silver, with a picture of a serpent on the door.
There were two couches in front of the fireplace, one red with gold throw pillows, and another green with silver pillows. There was an old oak coffee table in the middle.
Hermione stepped into the common room. There were two portraits at the bottom of the staircases.
"Those portraits lead to the Gryffindor common room, and the Slytherin one." The professor explained, pointing to the portraits. The two students nodded.
